just after five pm here in the russian capital you're watching r.t. now the late colonel gadhafi is most influential son is looking to have himself over to the international criminal court where he's wanted for war crimes saif al islam claims he's innocent and is threatening to expose details of his father's dealings with western leaders if he appears in the dock artie's ivor bennett explains. to some market deaf he was a man too much secrets which will supposedly he buried with him i think that there were tremendous size of relief all over capitals in western europe this is somebody who cut all sorts of deals with the french but also the british and the italians and to a certain extent the americans as well i think they did not want him put on trial for any reason and i am not misled is that surprised that he was captured alive if you very quickly ended up dead that gadhafi is returning from diplomatic akes all

was spectacular hugs handshakes and kisses from the heads of countries which denounced him gadhafi is now silenced but the suspicion around those who laid out the welcome mat op is far from buried i don't feel his devotion to his grave. but the. dealing with him is constant and it. will go way over seriously because the situation was fishing the probably cruel tricks that men are sharon acutely into a situation they could reverse it were true veterans then british prime minister tony blair was instrumental in good deputies rehabilitation bringing him in from the cold in two thousand and seven but blair didn't lead empty handed trade between them flourished so did the cozy relationship there was six more secret meetings off the player left office his people denying they were about releasing the lucky bomber abdel baset al mcgraw he or britain. lose its lucrative libyan deals i

regret myself enormously that gadhafi was but should he should have been showed to the international criminal court put all the trial and force to all its questions for all the terrible things he did and if it davidge the contemporary world or previous regimes lead is tough and we need to do so. was his job it. was people some details of the murky dealings have already emerged claiming the reputation of one of britain's leading universities the london school of economics agreed a contract with the gadhafi regime worth over two million pounds to educate hundreds of its future civil servants the director was forced to resign and now the university of tripoli is demanding the money back french leader nicolas sarkozy was never shy in greeting good daffy even letting him pitches tend to nearly safe palace apparently for bankrolling sarkozy's path to the presidency so says this man

the one who could still tell all that because he had go ahead sarkozy must give back the money he took from libya to finance his electoral campaign we funded it and we have all the details and are ready to reveal everything. saif al islam gadhafi son and key right hand man reportedly ready to surrender to the war crimes court saif is going to have low information on that i think was so huge that tony blair intervened formed to help him get his dodgy ph d. degree from the london school of economics one. degree or apparently was plagiarized so there's a lot of things that have gone on that so you knows about saif gadhafi is wanted to answer for his own actions in libya is drawn out battle for control but it's what he could reveal about the diplomatic deals with his father is keeping the western power plays sweating after bennett r.t. london. libya resident fled the city of syria days before colonel gadhafi was

killed there he claims that nato has committed atrocities during its intervention which only helped to destabilize his country. they used every possible thing to do to make this so-called revolution successful they used gunships. helicopters they used fighters all sorts of weapons that the they had disposal so they can dispose gadhafi and make this kind of illusions successful so they've killed so many people to succeed in this operation which i don't think it's a success because if it was a success the libyan would have been so happy about it i doubt very much there's a big divide in libya there's a huge gap now between libyans. i mean parts

or partially because of nato interference and partially because of let's be honest and say partially because of gadhafi. but but the way they killed gadhafi the way they treated him the way they bombed my city. which i have a lot of civilians inside it who were killed as well i mean this just. generates anger and generates revenge. which which is in the future would be the fuel of another war in libya which i think it will be sooner or later. well as nato winds up its intervention in libya it's leaving behind a country full of weapons in the hands of people with a shady past. well to stay with r.t. for a special report on the ground in an hour or so i was reveal how some of former rebel commanders have no clue how to tackle the gun problem.

syria's president is warning western nations that intervening in his country will cause an earthquake that will tear the middle east. told britain sunday telegraph newspaper that international involvement could turn his country into another afghanistan his comments follow the u.n. chief latest call for the repressions to end after a weekend of clashes claimed the reported fifty lives they are also weighing in with strong criticism and will meet syrian officials later on sunday the u.n. believes more than three thousand people have perished in the unrest since march but dissidents syrian writer and democracy campaigner michel kilo things most people there don't want a military solution to the crisis. or against military intervention what it is today tomorrow or in ten years' time even if the regime is to ny late every one of us would still be against military intervention we fight for freedom and we don't want to add external slavery to our domestic law we don't want it to become

a part of the struggle between the international and internal forces syrians are peaceful they want to progress under conditions of freedom and development and they don't want to turn into a concentration camp a public phonology country. and still to come at this hour an r t another outbreak of violence in the middle east we report on how a deadly exchange of fire between israel and gaza has overshadowed a peaceful mass protest at government spending time of the. scores of demonstrators supporting the occupy wall street movement have been arrested across the u.s. overnight riot police in denver moved detaining activists who refuse. to leave that cap well earlier police used pepper spray to disperse the crowds meanwhile at least thirty people were arrested in the states of war again a tennessee at a california after police went into force curfews removing protesters belongings it was nature though threatening demons in new york after the city was hit by

a seasonal snow blizzard however the activists say they're ready to a sad harsh weather conditions to make their point and as art is going to check out reports from washington the occupy protesters are serious and their determination. the peaceful nationwide movement that turned violent overnight in oakland. police attacked protesters with tear gas stun grenades. flash bombs and rubber bullets we had been there for weeks we had been taking care of ourselves there been no incidents with the police and they came in one of the most terrifying shows of force that i've ever seen in my entire life and they came in and they either flushed everyone out of the camp or arrested them and then they began to systematically sample all of the tents cut them apart and this need people really really angry a former u.s. marine an iraqi war veteran was seriously injured by a tear gas canister that police fired at him. footage of the wounded veteran and

police brutality spread quickly the shock of it galvanizing the nation and the occupy movement across the country. google says the company received requests from local law enforcement agencies to remove you tube videos of police brutality they did not comply the stronger of forcible response five establishment the stronger the movement will get the larger the protest will become the protesters through these past six weeks of being careful not to taint the movements reputation with violence by a march most reports suggest that this movement has been almost entirely peaceful but something that you asked me to. use the night of violence you know clinton to portray the protestors as radicals or more violence from the occupiers a lot of these people are professional educators a good number of these people are radicals no doubt about it you might ask how radical was this elderly woman in a wheelchair who was tear gassed by police or jasper father of two who's working on

his ph d. at the university of california berkeley you know they characterize you know it's. the perspective of the. marginal and radical and fringe in order to discredit it this movement really is about all americans it's not just about people that make a story we've been poor this is about now it's to the middle class that is starting to feel the impact of corporate greed that has run this country for so long as the movement grows bigger and more structured it's becoming harder to ignore the message of the campaigners who call themselves the ninety nine percent and protest against corporate crime and government complicity protesters tens march through and throughout the country there will be more the movement is only expanding several weeks ago police crackdown on protesters with pepper spray this week it was tear gas and stun grenades protesters now want to hit big business where it hurts

a general strike next week demanding banks and corporations shut down for a day but will the police response be anyone more brutal crackdown i'm going to check our reporting for washing our teeth. over keeping a close eye on the protests that are hitting the united states from coast to coast just ahead on live from more of aunties come from. the. problem you. find your body rather good at night. marching and harmony will help our you tube channel to check our chats with the occupy protesters are using to rally. rallies across the us on. the news today violence is once again flared up. in these are the images the world

has been seeing from the streets of canada. trying to corporations rule the day. leaders managed to strike a last minute deal on the eurozone debt crisis on thursday to try to save greece and avoid further collapse the bags have a bitter split pill to swallow they ended up agreeing to write off fifty percent of what greece owes them after eurozone leaders decided to half the country's private sector debt to one hundred billion euros europe's emergency pot of cash will also swell to one trillion euros well after the summit in brussels the french president nicolas sarkozy said that allowing greece to join the euro was quote a mistake dr lee roth who's group scrutinizes government spend a crisis policy says greece is a ticking time bomb and the new deal won't save europe. it's almost like one of those 1980's comment is worth a somebody giving a fellow deathbed speech and keeps getting up and carrying on it's something which

. the fundamentals were there to be seen twenty twenty five years ago they were supposed to be a six to sixty percent. to g.d.p. ratio before states in the first place to join the euro and now it's being seen as some achievement if greece money she's got to get down to twenty star or it's long been a ticking time bomb bailouts as a rule of thumb and to achieve a settlement with major reforms as a reform don't work i don't see within this package not really through the fifteen pages of the document i mean they're also there are lots of aspirations but in terms of concrete proposals they're a little thin on the ground. well the e.u. may have agreed how big the bailout basket should be but now it has to fill it with cash and to do with leaders are looking to china and set the fund chief there to generate a bit of economic enthusiasm at beijing's hardly jumping at the chance economists there believe china is treading carefully so it doesn't throw good money after bad . china will join the bandwagon of all the savior is bob china will

not be a white knight in this regard because china is not very satisfied satisfied with the fact that those that the austerity plan didn't come on the right time and there are still the war between different stakeholders within within this fall not. on the other hand the indecisive and there is the slow pacing of the members particularly those leading members in solving those issues so that really say several taj the number of people in terms of their patients to come up to the rescue plan. and still ahead this hour the goods are on their way. a russian space module sets off on the bike going to cosmodrome in kazakhstan

carrying a tons of vital supplies for the international space station. a palestinian militants in gaza are calling for a cease fire with israel as an exchange of deadly far between the two sides has continued into a second day israeli air strikes have killed at least nine people they came in response to rocket attacks in the south of the country but left one person dead well egypt had earlier brokered a cease fire that now appears to have faltered it's the worst escalation of violence between israel and gaza in weeks and the store is casting a shadow over protests and government spending in tel aviv where thousands took to the streets let's cross live to gaza now for some insight from political analyst mahmoud on this remarkable this latest exchange of fire was sparked by an israeli airstrike on gaza but television claims it bombed a militant training camp from where a rocket attack was being planned was there any evidence any actual evidence as to where this started. well once again it is

a real house bill to provide any concrete evidence for the the fokker stated earlier last month the it's a military can buy this line and you have and israel does not need in justification or has happened before we have seen it at the outset and once again the failure was so massive that israel failed to provide any concrete evidence on the influence where there would be clear from and why the conducted the operation inside varies a lot more beyond this the interpretation of a lot of this and what there is really a narrative is stating given the few. things the palestinians have done and you have a piece of fence about how often have you on the. resistance succeeding and the. release in palestinian prisoners from israeli jails now it's time to

read and stating the parents capacity to teach those palestinians who is actually in charge but it's actually it happened before we palestinians are getting used to it that's the reading of it ok well really you did mention that the exchange of prisoners they did make a lot of headlines the palestinians they have yet to receive hundreds of their prisoners and that's in exchange for one israeli soldier who's been handed back to television already do you think this latest outbreak of violence could hamper that part of the exchange. there is a lot i expect the speculation about tied to the main modification behind that attack was due. to give a reason for israel to hold the swap deal meaning they're not going to release the rest of the palestinian prisoners which is highly possible because israel did not offer any guarantees over the release of the rest of the palestinian yes it was written on paper of. israel by the help of the egyptian and the german agreed upon

but is that going to happen the same question look like you see. the seal supposed to be lifted but they talk about it but is that going to happen i don't think so ok well let's talk about more about the peace process you're not israel refuses to negotiate with hamas which of course doesn't recognize the right of the jewish state to exist do you see any way around the deadlock well with the peace process the problem the real problem here it has been going on for for the possible years and nothing really how the israeli emphasis on the jewish identity. of the state of israel in five does not help the peace process at all it's a it's quite. explicit this is a state only and only for jews would. the question would be what about the fate of the palestinians who live within israel and about how the impact the peace of

process the negotiations between the p.a. israel. ok well as all of this is happening we're talking about the exchange of fire there's also big news in the television there's very little mention in the main mainstream media of last night's protests in tel aviv there were thousands of people who took to the streets do you think it has anything to do with a flare up of violence helping distract media attention. oh it's exactly if we about a month or a month and a half ago when a life attack happened it was a way to deflect an internal crisis on the expense of gaza now it's actually going on i haven't read a report on our roads were. the protesters and they're saying well it's not in the gaza. but in their life it's their government policies and the high living coast so there is a little bit of a word as the protests are. somehow genuine accountability of their

own government so that the whole strategy every time they come out as the savior of the state of israel by instigating the violence here if it does not happen in gaza there are settlements. putting more settlements on the west bank if there is not settled in those areas and intensify and it's a vacation of the siege over goes with the cycle of violence it's going on forever and it will likely continue as a an exit strategy for one who is in the government all right thanks very much for insight there live from gaza political analyst thanks to you again thank you and coming up in an hour's time an israeli politician explains what's happening a peace settlement between television and the palestinians. so in a few minutes we will be reporting for the most anticipated cultural events in the russian capital years. the bolshoi back in the day maybe you will be utterly
